Baron: Lord of Saturday

Play'n GO takes its Baron Lord of Saturday title from Baron Samedi, the lwa of the dead in Haitian Vodou, and builds the game's whole feature set around collecting wild symbols that expand to fill entire reels. Skulls and dripping candles surround a 5x4 grid running 20 fixed paylines, with wins forming left to right from the leftmost reel.

Four potion bottles marked with the card suits serve as the low-paying symbols, returning 1.6x to 2x the stake for five in a row, while cigars, dolls and a pair of characters make up the higher pays, worth 3x to 8x for the same line length. Wild symbols appear only on the three middle reels and substitute for every paying symbol on the grid. They can be added randomly, between three and six at a time, and reels 2, 3 and 4 each carry a chance to become an active Wild Reel, up to one in the base game and as many as three during free spins, where any wild that lands expands to cover the entire reel.

Scatter symbols sit on the leftmost and rightmost reels only, and landing two of them opens the free spins round with 8 spins on offer, where wilds start attached to a x2 multiplier. Scatters keep landing and collecting through the round: every four collected pushes the wild multiplier up a tier, from x2 to x3, then x5 and finally x10, adding up to nine extra free spins across three possible upgrades. Once the multiplier reaches x10, scatters stop appearing for the rest of the round, and multiple multiplier values within the same win are added together rather than multiplied.

The game carries five RTP settings topping out at 96.2%, rated high volatility at 7 out of 10 with a hit frequency of 3.57%. Bets run from 0.05 to 100 per spin, and the maximum win is 3,500x the stake.
